It’s no secret that being a parent is challenging, but it’s often simply a lovely way of presenting the possibly most difficult pill to swallow in raising children: they make everything more difficult.
Forget about moving or changing jobs; even simple tasks like vacuuming the home and going to the grocery require more effort when we add in an extra pair of arms and legs to keep track of.
Many people, however, hesitate to accept this fundamental fact for whatever reason.
So writer Lucy Huber expressed her dissatisfaction with it via Twitter a few days ago.

Huber’s tirade — I hope she doesn’t mind the term — immediately connected with parents and went viral, but the greatest part is that her tweets also spurred moms and dads to discuss all the ways their kids overcomplicate ordinary life, normalizing the debate about reality.
We can close our eyes and say anything we want, but the problem will still exist.
